Deadline to enter 2011 Sappi North American Printers of the Year is March 18, 2011

Sappi North America’s Printers of the Year is a competition that recognizes print excellence and innovation in 10 categories for work produced on Sappi papers.

Through the awards, printers have the opportunity to win up to $20,000 in support of their marketing and brand initiatives and to be featured in Sappi's new searchable online database for designers, printer buyers and corporations. This award recognizes the fine art of print production and the ability of an elite group of printers to achieve perfection within a complex manufacturing and production environment. Printers of the Year judges review dot fidelity, cross overs, binding, color consistency across forms, and overall print integrity within 10 categories.

Entering this competition is easy--printers can enter any existing work printed between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2010 that uses Sappi paper as the dominant stock and is printed on a Sappi paper in the U.S. or Canada. For each entry, six copies of the printed piece must be submitted by mail along with one copy of the entry form.
